Smart solutions to save water at home
In many areas, fresh water can be a scarce and precious resource. But with a fresh look at your household habits, you could save many litres of it every day. Ensuring that less water – and potentially money – goes down the drain for no good reason.
Every drop counts
All our taps and showers reduce water flow, as well as the ÅBÄCKEN nozzle, making it easier to save water at home. In spray mode, misting nozzles use less water than a standard wash-basin mixer tap – in mist mode, they use even less.
Tips for saving water with cooling and heating
Take some pressure off
Water taps, shower heads and hand showers fitted with a built-in aerator have a reduced water flow – without you noticing any difference in the water pressure. Saving you water without any extra hassle.
Stop the dripping
A dripping tap wastes water. By turning off the tap completely or replacing worn parts, you can prevent wasting water. It’s all about prolonging the life of the things you already have.
Don’t let it run
The smallest steps or changes in behaviour can save money and resources. Many of us brush our teeth or shave while the tap is running. If you turn off the tap when you aren’t using it, you can save water.
More tips for saving water
Keep cool water
Keep a cool jug of water chilling in the fridge. Running a tap waiting for water to cool on a hot day is the same as flushing it down the drain, so why not gather it and put it to good use instead?
Save your shower water
If you run your shower before hopping in, you can use a lightweight but durable jug or watering can to collect the water while it warms up. Ready to get your plants refreshed as soon as you are.
Shrink your sink
Filling your sink uses a lot of water, especially if the sink is large. And you probably don’t need that much water for most washing-up tasks. Try placing a smaller tub in the sink to wash up in instead.
Air semi-clean clothes
Hanging semi-clean garments to air on a rack or clothes rail, instead of washing them, may get you an extra day’s wear and mean one less wash. Saving not only water, but also wear and tear.
Only run the dishwasher when it’s fully loaded
A dishwasher can be a great way to get all those dirty dishes clean while you do something else. To make sure you use water and energy in the best way, remember to only run the dishwasher when fully loaded.
